Will Grandma Enna become an evil ghost?

When I thought about it, I felt sad and depressed.

This matter obviously cannot be changed by my willpower.

If Grandma Enna can't let it go, after knowing the truth, she will definitely become a terrifying evil ghost to vent her anger and resentment.

Unless she is a real saint or a real fool, everyone will have a distinction between close and distant relatives in their hearts. Sacrificing important relatives and friends for strangers, the kind of grief can be imagined.

After the thin man and others knew about it, they also felt sad.

Grandma Enna may be facing such a breakdown, but no one can help her.

Wu Ling obviously accepted this a long time ago. She immediately changed the subject and talked about the plan mentioned yesterday.

I told the thin man that after get off work, we should go to Wu Ling together to listen to her introduction of the method of making a wish.

The new method of making a wish still requires lighting a candle in front of the mirror at midnight, but this time a special candle is used.

Wu Ling found the twisted candle from a cardboard box.

I could tell that the cardboard box was the kind of cardboard boxes that were piled up in the office.

The candle was not straight, but bent into a snake shape, with snake scales carved on it. The candle head was also carved into the shape of a snake head. It was like a lifelike white snake. The candle wick was in the snake's mouth, and it was also the snake's tongue.

"What is this?" the thin man asked.

"Didn't your ex-girlfriend mention this thing?" Wu Ling asked back.

The thin man thought about it and shook his head.

"More than three hundred years ago, powerful mediums used this kind of candle. This kind of candle can gather Yin energy and attract ghosts. The material is a raised white snake. The mediums would feed the white snakes with their own blood, and when the white snakes grow up, they would throw them into special paraffin wax to make candles. The formula of that paraffin wax has been lost. I collected this one before. For people with abilities like us, it is actually a bit useless. There are other ways to gather Yin energy and attract ghosts without using this kind of candle. That's why no one used it later and it was lost." Wu Ling placed the candle on the coffee table and looked at the thin man, "It's just right for you." The thin man stared at the candle, and his body was a little stiff, probably because he felt uncomfortable. I also felt uncomfortable. The candle seemed to be some kind of living thing, and the snake was still alive and looking at us. "Candles are the most common props for casting spells. Humans always have a special feeling for flames. Another thing is the mirror." Wu Ling said, and took out another mirror from the cardboard box. The mirror looked like a makeup mirror that a lady would carry with her. It was small, not even as big as a palm. There were carvings all around it, which was very exquisite. The material looked like copper, but it had lost its metallic luster, giving people a sense of historical sedimentation.

This thing might be an antique.

The mirror was smooth and could clearly reflect everything in front of it, but there was nothing unusual.

Wu Ling turned his hand over and let us see the pattern on the back of the mirror.

It was a human head. A woman's head. There was a terrified expression on her face. There were no eyeballs. There was a pair of sharp teeth in her mouth.

"This is the only mirror I can find. This is Marian's mirror." Wu Ling said.

The thin man stuttered, "No, it can't be that Marian, right?"

We all looked at the thin man.

"Oh, you know. That's good." Guo Yujie asked, "Who is Marian?" "She's a witch. Well, you can't say she's a witch. She's a noble lady who has nothing to do, so she studied witchcraft. Well, it's the old-fashioned kind, wanting to stay young forever. Because she's a noble, she has a lot of slaves, so she does human experiments. She also captures real witches and wants them to cast spells for her. Later, she hit a wall." The thin man looked at the mirror, "She was sealed in the mirror by the witch, and the witch escaped successfully." "After that, anyone who uses this mirror will see Marian. If you are bewitched by Marian, she will occupy your body. That body will age quickly and die. After death, Marian will return to the mirror." Wu Ling continued. "Is that it?" Guo Yujie looked at the mirror. "This is a fragment of Marian's mirror. It was processed and made by later generations. The original mirror has been damaged and lost." Wu Ling placed the mirror next to the candle, "Because the original mirror is broken, Marian's soul has long been destroyed. This mirror only retains her remaining resentment. It has some power. Well... Because the world has changed, is it possible to summon Marian? I haven't tried it."

This sounds unreliable, but it's very real.

I glanced at the thin man, he should believe it.

I can't tell whether Wu Ling really has such a thing in his collection, or just found an antique mirror and put it on a legend.

However, it's unlikely to just find an antique mirror that looks like it.

"With these two things, the success rate will be higher." Wu Ling said, "Regarding the steps of the ritual. The one used by your ex-girlfriend is too random, and the success rate and accuracy cannot be guaranteed. I think you need to have a clear object for wishing. Since we have Marian's mirror and the candle used by the medium before, this object can be the witch who sealed Marian."

"Huh?" The thin man was stunned, "Isn't that legend..."

"It's not an ordinary witch who can do that kind of seal and curse." Wu Ling took the paper and pen on the coffee table and drew a pattern on it.

At the bottom of the pattern is the shape of a spider. There are soft lines on the spider's back, like the outline of a human body. The front of the spider's eight legs has eight abstract patterns composed of lines. The spider's pincers hold a poisonous snake in its mouth.

"Vic Nami, self-help society." Wu Ling said.

The thin man pointed to one of the eight patterns and said, "Is this the symbol of the black witch?"

"That's right."

The conversation between the two and the pattern left us confused.

Wu Ling introduced: "Vecnami was the largest witch organization in the past. They adopted orphans, taught spells, and engaged in some commercial work... It was a bit like a religious organization. During the witch-hunting movement, it was renamed the Self-Help Society, and the internal structure was originally The eight sects they owned also began to split due to different opinions, and then completely perished. Now, some people who study witchcraft will still claim to be their inheritors." Wu Ling pointed to the sign that the thin man had just clicked. "This is a black witch who uses black magic. This is a Western term. From our point of view, curse witchcraft is used more often, so the rejection and suppression are more severe. In contrast, entering modern society Later, some middle school teenagers became more interested in it, so it became more known.”

This sounds like the setting for some fantasy work.

Wu Ling brought the topic back, "The witch who sealed Marian was one of the members of Vecnami, and later became the leader of the black witch sect. Her real name is not recorded, but she has a title, called Char's Resentment Spirit. She was born in a small village called Char. Because of her use of witchcraft, a plague broke out in that village. She was the only survivor and was hunted down. It was after Marianne heard about this that she sent people to look for her. She and captured her."

"Hey, that's it..." Guo Yujie listened with interest.

"Those witches themselves are very fragile. Only because they know some curses, they can do things that are incredible to ordinary people. No one knows how she escaped from Marianne's control and sealed Marianne. However, it is certain. "Yes, she not only sealed Marian, but also replaced her, pretended to be a noble lady, and gained a lot of money and power, which finally made her the leader of the Black Witch," Wu Ling introduced. Some of the books and diaries passed down by Nami mentioned a lot about her. At that time, other witches treated her with some disdain, but worldly power was what many of the black witches needed. They all imitated her behavior. There were conflicts among the witches, and there were some casualties. The behavior of the black witches was also exposed, which made everyone in the society feel insecure and hated witches. After that, the witch hunting movement took advantage of the situation. However, this is all after her death. When she was alive, no one dared to stand up and object. Some witches could not stand her behavior and either tolerated it or chose to live in seclusion. "

"This is a very strong and ambitious person. Moreover, Marianne hates her, and many people and witches also hate her. At the same time, there are also many people who admire her and yearn for her." Chen Xiaoqiu suddenly said.

"That's right." Wu Ling nodded, "So, choosing her as the object of your wish is the best choice at the moment."
